In My Mailbox - New Books This Week (24)

In My Mailbox is a posting idea run by Kristi at The Story Siren (read all about it here: In My Mailbox) for bloggers to share the books they've gotten that week to help publicize as many titles as possible. It's a little preview on what book reviews to anticipate along with a way to build excitement about new titles coming out. All titles link to goodreads so you can add books to your "to-read" list.

Sent to Me

ENCLAVE (Razorland #1) by Ann AguirreAnn was kind enough to offer copies of her book to teachers on twitter one day, so I emailed her and she sent me 5 copies for me and to share with others! THANK YOU SO MUCH, ANN! I'm looking forward to reading this one-I've seen good reviews for it. I'm also very excited because she's a debut YA author and this will be another one to add to my dystopian book club list.

* Don't forget to enter to win a copy of MY LIFE UNDECIDED by Jessica Brody. Giveaway ends June 28th!

*Oh, and if you missed my gushing review of THE UNBECOMING OF MARA DYER by Michelle Hodkin on Friday, check it out. I love this book and it's going to be much talked about come September!

I have Enclave in a box I think somewhere waiting to be read. I just moved (wonder how long I can claim just) about a month ago and I'm still trying to find bookshelves to put my books on. Didn't realize I had acquired so many more in my year of blogging. I'm be looking forward to your review.

welcome!
